You need to take the media back out (the entire LTO-old pool).
 
When you inventory to get it back in, bring it in as LTO instead of your
default of LTO-2.
 
You will have to change one of your drives to LTO from LTO-2.
 
I have done DR without import (as you are trying) and the above was what I
had to figure out.  It worked very well.

Hi  

The media was hcart on the old master, new master its  hcart2 on the new ,
like the rest on on the new. 

I'm not sure that the the problem.  It doesn't think the media is no where
to be found.  Yet it in the library and netbackup knows all about it. Except
it doesn't know.

The following command will change the media type in the image database on
the master and the media database (mediaDB) on the media server:

cd /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

./bpmedia -m {mediaid} -changeden -new {new_media_type} 



The following command will change the media type in the volume database
(volDB) on the master:

cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin

./vmchange -m {mediaid} -new_mt {new_media_type}



The 'new_media_type' is in lower case (dlt, dlt2, or dlt3) in both commands.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] hcart types may be causing "recovery without import"
        problem

Hi

Getting "media not in database"  problem  from a "recovery without import" 
(copying the images to DR ).

A phase 1 scan - a nogo as images in database.

The tapes there, images in the catalogue and browable - the two just don't
want know about each other.
One suggestion is the media is  known  as hcart on one system and hcart2 on 
the other ...possible problem.

Any ideas ?
